Please..

Delayed Leave

I jump up out of bed and run to the bathroom.

I hunch over and throw up into the toilet. My eyes watery as I do so. Ashyr starts wailing. After a few minutes, there is a knock on the door. After I do not reply, the door is opened. 

"Everett?" Asks Killian's voice. Ashyr stops crying, I only assume because of him picking her up. I continue throwing up as I feel someone in the doorway. "Everett? You alright?" Killian asks as he kneels beside me. "Can I touch you?" He asks. 

I nod as I keep leaning over the toilet. He places his hand on my back and rubs it in circles. "I'll go get a nurse." He says. I glance at him as he gets up. He has Ashyr in hand and bed head, like he just woke up. 

He walks out just as I throw up again.

A few minutes pass and I hear the door open once again. I recognize 2 scents, Kelli and Riley. "Ever..are you okay? Can I touch you?" Kelli asks. I nod. I lean over and throw up again. I feel his hand rub my back, up and down. 

"Did this just start?" Riley asks. "Y-yes." I mutter out. I finally stop after about 6 more times of vomiting. "Here." I am handed a wet rag by Sara that apparently just showed up. "Is there anything else bothering you?" She asks. 

"N-no...just my stomach." I mutter out. "Do you mind if we run some tests?" Sara asks. I shake my head. Ashyr is suddenly wailing in the corner. I am then picked up bridal style. I look up to see Killian. He carries me to the room and lays me down on the bed.

I look around at everyone there. Killian has Ashyr again and they are sitting in a chair beside me. Kelli and Riley are standing in the corner, and Sara is beside me with a needle attached to a tube. "This might sting a little, but it will only last a moment." She says.

I nod. She puts the needle in, but I feel nothing. I furrow my brows in confusion and look up to her. She looks at me with a sad understanding. "It's your pain tolerance. I guess it's so high...you just do not feel most things that hurt us." She explains.

She takes some of my blood through the needle thing. She walks out with it and then down the hall. "Hopefully it is nothing too serious." Killian says. I look over at Kelli and we share knowing looks. "If it is what I think it is...I-I'm not letting it go." I say. Kelli looks at me with surprise before nodding with a smile.

"...you don't mean..." Killian starts. I nod. He hands me Ashyr and abruptly stands and walks out. I feel tears well up. Is he...going to leave me? I look at Ashyr as she coos. "Papa." She says. My eyes widen. Her first word. I peck her on the forehead. "Papa, that's right baby." I whisper to her and peck her on the cheek.

She giggles. "Papa." She says again. I smile even more at her. Tears slip down my cheeks as I hold her to me. Kelli rushes to my side. "It will be okay. He will come around. He's not even mad at you...he's mad at what you've gone through and who did this to you." He says.

- About an Hour Later -

We have the results. I am 2 weeks pregnant. It happened even before there was we were worried about there being no protection used. There is absolutely no way of knowing who the father is. And if Killian agrees to it, there will be no reason to know.

Everyones gone to eat. Kelli said he'd bring me and Ashyr some. 

Someone walks through the door. The scent of my mate fills my nose. I turn to see him no longer angry. He sits beside me like before. "I'm sorry...I wasn't mad at you or the baby...just mad at whoever the father is." He says.

I shake my head. "If...you're okay with it...I was thinking m-maybe we didn't h-have to know..?"  I say, meeting his gaze. He smiles. "Of course. I'll always be with you. But you do know I want at least 1 more." He says with a smirk. I feel my face get hot. "O-okay..." I mumble.
